Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well and if not, I hope you know it'll all be okay in the end :)
"Cast your burdens to The Lord and he will sustain you." Psalm 55v22
I guess this is probably one of the most well known bible verses out there and it is also one of the most loved verses (makes sense, haha!). Do you know why I love this verse? Well, here's a small list:
1. Because there is someone we can all rely on; even when it feels like there's no one.
2. the CREATOR loves you and me and that will never change, no matter how many mistakes you make.
3. The word "cast" — what comes to mind when you think of this? For me, it's an image of throwing everything out and getting rid of all those burdens you may have. It doesn't say "hand gently" or "ask before giving your burdens", it says "CAST". Because he will take them because he loves you so so much!!! He WANTS to take them, to be there for you, to hold you, to bring the light you so desperately need and to wipe your tears.
Maybe it semes weird for me to believe in an invisible God -- especially in times like covid (which, by the way, I hope you are all doing okay), but here's the thing: God won't be so "invisible" when you search for him.
"Ask and it shall be given, SEEK and you shall find, Knock and it shall be opened to you." Matthew 7: 7-8
God will never let you down. He is powerful, he is mighty, and he is stronger than anything you've ever known. After all, he created everything we see, touch, hear, smell and taste. But most importantly., he created me and you.
All my love,
Grace
